Williams fires back over Raiders release claims

[Raidercast]

Star England import George Williams has returned serve over reports he agitated the Raiders into an immediate release from his playing contract via text.

Williams and his management had asked the club for a release at season's end on compassionate grounds but the Raiders instead decided today it would be in the best interest of both parties to part ways, effective immediately.

But a News Corp report which claimed Williams sent a text message to the club welfare manager to inform the Raiders he would not be attending regulation training has been refuted by the star.
